The Impact You’ll Be Contributing to Moloco: 

  • Product Analytics Data Science (PDS) is the data science team that works closely with the R&D team on our core Ads product.

What You’ll Do:

  • Conducting deep-dive analysis to influence R&D decisions and strategies: analyzing large datasets with queries and scripts, extracting valuable signals out of noise, and producing actionable insights into how we could improve Moloco’s complex ML and bidding system to drive outcomes for customers.

  • Building the right metrics to measure campaign health: improving campaign performance monitoring by establishing the right metric framework, and understanding cause-and-effect relationships across drivers

Basic Qualifications:

  • Distinctive problem-solving skills, ability to articulate product questions, pulling data from large datasets and using statistics to arrive at a recommendation; ability to manage multiple projects at the same time.

  • Proven ability to own projects end-to-end, even when you have to get creative: you do more than completing delegated tasks and always pay attention to detail to translate analysis results into business recommendations.

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with ability to present information and analysis results effectively.

  • Statistics: strong knowledge and experience in experimental design, hypothesis testing, and various statistical analysis techniques such as regression or linear models.

  • Programming: experience with Python, R or other scripting language, and database language (e.g. SQL) or data manipulation (e.g. Pandas, Dplyr).

  • Ability to build positive relationships within the DS team and with our stakeholders, and work effectively with cross-functional partners in a global company.

  • 5+ years of work experience (industry or postgraduate) in data science related fields or an advanced degree such as Master’s or PhD in a quantitative discipline with 4+ years of experience.

  • Bachelor’s, Master’s and/or PhD in a quantitative discipline (e.g. Statistics, Operations Research, Bioinformatics, Economics, Computational Biology, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering).
